Hi,
Looking to apply for entry level financial advisory roles (eg m&a,cf,valuations) with the option to study for CFA. aware that the market is shit right now but can anyone share some good firms to look into and apply even speculatively? Ideally mid sized firms where competition will be less? (London)

It is never a bad idea to become a CFA. Hopefully, someone will be able to answer your question about firms to look into.

I'm going to move from non IT profile to IT profile. Basically I'll be applying as front end engineer in new company. Previously I was working in a BPO profile.
Just wanted to ask if I'll be provided training in my initial months as a front end engineer or am I expected to work from the very first day.
Your comments will be really helpful.
